Stop Sitting on the Sidelines!
Ditch the guilt, make up for lost time and get your novel done - once and for all!
13-24 January 2025
You're a beginner writer, who wants to:
- Develop compelling characters and plotting strategies - core skills that will set you up for success.
- Create a concrete plan - a roadmap on how to start, write and finish your manuscript.
- Build confidence in your ability to write - learn from experienced novelists and demystify the process.
- Build relationships and connect with a community - for motivation, feedback and support.
- Get the push you need to write - no more overthinking.
Get the skills, plan and motivation to go from dreaming about writing a book to actually making it happen.
Leave this summit ready to write.
Instead, you are:
Writing into a vacuum.
Writing your novel can be overwhelming and frustrating, whether you’ve tried outlining or flying the seat of your pants.
Feeling guilty.
After all these years, you’ve still not written your novel, and it’s holding you back from achieving your lifelong dream.
Scared time is running out.
You’ve been treading water for years and you don’t want to waste any more time talking about your book. You want to write it.
Don't let another 10 years go by without getting the insights and community that can help you successfully cross that finish line.
If you never write your novel you’ll:
- Never feel like a writer
- Leave the story stuck in your head
- Regret never giving it a go
Don't let inexperience or lack of confidence hold you back from writing your novel any longer.
Get the fundamental training you need to finally tackle your book head on and avoid the regrets of an unfinished manuscript sitting on your computer.
With proper guidance tailored to first time novelists, you will gain the clarity and assurance to write with purpose and avoid wasting time.
How do you stop sitting on the sidelines and actually finish?

About Emma!
I’m Emma, the host of Be A Bestseller 6: Back to Basics. I started this annual summit because I wanted to help writers like you achieve their dream of writing their first novel.
I understand the struggles you go through in terms of craft and imposter syndrome, and how it feels to be writing into a vacuum without the right support or feedback.
But I also know what it takes to overcome those obstacles and achieve that finished manuscript. With the Be A Bestseller summit series I've helped thousands of writers achieve their dreams. Trust me to guide you on your journey towards a finished book.
And it’s all for free 🙂
Your Experts:
“Thank you so much for this Masterclass. I got so much out of it!”

“All wonderful. Learned lots. Thank you”
- Nancy
I'm unsure if I'll learn anything new from this summit that I can't get elsewhere for free.
Emma has curated her ‘wish list’ of experts, teaching on only the most essential and targeted training for beginner novelists. Instead of scouring the internet for possible experts, the Real McCoy are right here in Back to Basics.
I'm worried 2 weeks won't be enough time to provide value.
This summit is packed with an intensive curriculum designed to accelerate your learning as a new novelist. The specialised focus and direct access to bestselling authors makes every minute worthwhile. Many attendees say they gain as much value as a semester-long writing course.
I am unsure this will actually help me finish my novel.
This summit focuses on beginner writers, which means you get exactly what you need to get you to the finish line. There’s no marketing or ads talk, nor does the summit go into software and tech. It’s about the basics. The stuff you need to get you to the finish line.
Imagine this...
You stop re-plotting your novel. You stop rewriting the first three chapters. You stop being scared.
Instead, you have courage. You trust yourself. You know you have the skills to push through to The End.
You recognise that you’ve achieved your lifetime ambition and finished the book that has been in your head for 10 years or more.
Instead of guilt, you feel proud of what you’ve achieved.
